Mmmm Pita

I love Greek food! I recently convinced some friends to try the local Greek restaurant. They thought it was ok. I love it! I love feta cheese, kabobs, vinegar salad dressing, pita bread. Mike made some hummus last week but had nothing to eat it with. I was avoiding going to the store at the moment, so I decided to make him something. I found this recipe for pita bread and amazingly enough, it turned out perfect! So we have been enjoying pita bread all week! It wasn't as hard to make as I imagined it would be. The hardest part is the constantly putting it in and out of the oven with small children trying to "help." I substituted whole wheat for half of the flour, but that is the only change I made to the recipe. (This is an acutal photo of my lunch on

Saturday.)

In other news, I won a book! For all you 'goodreaders' out there go to the 'explore' tab on your main good reads page. When you click on it you will see a 'giveaways' section where you can win pre-release copies of books from goodreads authors. You can enter as many as you want so I did and so far this is my first win! I will soon be recieving a copy of this book.... Slathblog's Gold.
So look for my review... hopefully it will be good since I will own the copy!

Fighting the January Blahs

This is what we are doing. How about you?

Sleep..zzz...

This is where Eliza thinks she's supposed to sleep. In my bed, halfway on top of me. It's not working for me anymore so we have decided to start trying to get her to sleep through the night.

So we moved her bed into a room by herself (so she can't wake up Ian.) We are also cutting off all her "gogurt" (vanilla yogurt + milk in a Nuby cup) at night which she was fond of drinking about three cupful per night. She was eating so much at night she was hardly eating any food in the day! The first few nights were the worst listening to her scream. Mike would go into comfort her but she wouldn't be comforted. But last night FINALLY she slept 9:00-5:45! I was so happy to get up with her at 5:45 and get her breakfast because she had slept in her own bed with no gogurt! I'm hoping she makes it until 6:30 tomorrow! It's hard to listen to her scream but it will be better for her in the long run, right?

Merry Christmas Kids

I tried to take a nice picture of the kids this morning because they looked so Christmasy.

This was the best one I got... Eliza REFUSED to stand anywhere near Ian for some reason.

Mostly I got pictures like this....

and this.

But I love them anyways.
